Sold GTI - Another One Gone : (
« on: 30 April 2009, 17:42 »
Well folks, just sold my beloved GTI after 2 1/2 years of ownership :cry:

Need a bigger beast so looking at a 3 litre Touareg in DBP :shocked:

Advertised it on Pistonheads night before last and got 2 enquiries within 40 mins. Sold at asking price to the first viewer this afternoon :wink:

Car was mint as I got Paul Reed from Wonder Detail to do the paintwork again - looks absolutely mint and well worth the price to have the car in such good condition - clinched the deal I'm sure.

I've enjoyed this forum and I'll probably stick around for a while to enjoy the banter.

Just got to sell my OEM Bluetooth kit which I blught from Stu via this site - never got round to getting it fitted :laugh: Will put it in the For Sale section. Anyone interested - please feel free to PM me.

So, the search now begins for a diesel monster to enhance my carbon footprint :shocked:

 :cry: Bye GTI

 :laugh: Hello Touareg

I'd have thought it would (just about) reduce your carbon footprint though?

Not entirely sure Hurdy - will have to look at the emissions and average mpg of about 28 for the Treg. GTI was about the same but got significantly more on a run (if not too spirited a drive) :rolleyes:

Done a couple of trips recently from Tyneside to see my beloved Spurs in London and I have a carbon clear conscience having taken my wife's Toyota Aygo down for the last trip - almost made 70mpg  :shocked: !!!!!

Anyway, going to troll the internet tonight/this week and find me a Treg Altitude in DBP and then negotiate HARD................. :evil:

Oh no......not a Touareg.  It just goes to show, there's nothing as queer as folk.   :grin: :grin: :grin:

Crikey! Are you really choosing your ride with your carbon footprint in mind?

Ever heard of Dust-to-Dust? That's the real carbon footprint statistic - The result of starting from dust through manufacturing and a yardstick of 100k miles back to dust via disposal. Exhaust emissions is just a political scam to tax you. The Pious is about #80 on the list and the V8 Jeep #1. Batteries are bad news eco-wise.
